Riding ART

How to Ride

Pre-purchase fare and board bus at any door without showing your ticket.

Wait for passengers to exit the bus before you get on.

ART has a level boarding platform, which makes boarding time shorter. It is easily accessible for wheelchairs, disabled passengers, strollers, and other rolling items.

Bicycles may be brought on board and stored but are subject to space availability.
